If Patel's statue cost ₹3000 crore, just imagine how much this government created temple is going to cost, and also how much HCP Design will make off of it. The Patel statue could've funded noon-meals in UP for 22,321,428 children for one school year. Some priorities.

What the Ram Mandir judgment means for Indian politics

*Completes Hindu nationalism’s ascent as India’s ruling ideology
*Cements Muslim marginalisation
*Allows Modi government a breather from the economy
*Opens up the BJP’s core agenda

From Hindu rashtra to economic slowdown: What the Ram Mandir judgment means for Indian politics

NRC, communal citizenship laws or the instituting of a uniform law code for all communities: the decks are clear for the BJP to move forward on its agenda.

So three findings emerge:

1. That the 1949 installation of idols was illegal
2. That the 1992 demolition was illegal.
3. No evidence that Babri masjid was build by *demolishing* a temple.

Who is the wronged and who is the wrongdoer again?

Hello Academic Tooters (#AcaTooters), as promised, this is my first thread for desi academics (thought not limited to) who want to connect with each other in this new space, and create a virtual support system. Please introduce yourself under here with your name, field, area of research, geographical location (optional). Once we have the thread going, I'll create a list.
Will be also holding future threads on conference, publishing, writing, and other #AcaWoes you can think of.

@VakashaS has been doing some of the most up to date and comprehensive reporting from the Supreme Court on matters of public importance.

Blocking his account the #birdsite is showing what it stands for.

Let's continue the mass migration to @Mastodon.

Decentralization is the way forward.

Let's get something clear...

The exodus from Twitter is not because of Trolls. Those were easily handled. The problem was that Twitter was being paid by the Govt to turn a blind eye to the radicalisation of the Majority community.

The exodus is not in fear but in disgust.
